There exists a mystery concerning the origin or migration of the marsupials (pouched mammals) following the great Biblical flood of Noah. Prior to the modern introduction of placentals into Australia, the continent was inhabited by only marsupial and monotreme mammals. Most of the 140 species of marsupials in Australia are found nowhere else in the world. The only naturally occurring marsupial in the United States is the possum, Didelphis marsupialis. This overwhelming presence in Australia should be explained through natural affects upon these animals during their reoccupation of the postflood world.

The distribution pattern of marsupials is very difficult to explain naturalistically, and it seems to imply interference or added assistance. At the 2nd International Conference on Creationism in 1990, John Woodmorappe presented a paper which proposed that a postdiluvian civilization intentionally colonized Australia with marsupials.

The evolutionists generally theorize that the opossum was the primitive ancestor of the mammals before the continental breakup of a southern landmass called Gondwanaland. It is thought Australia and South America were once connected, and following geographic separation the opossum developed into the various marsupials which are now on Australia.

Another important detail for consideration is the existence of numerous marsupials and placentals that are identical to one another with the exception of the distinctions in reproductive systems. This paper examines the similarities and differences between the placental mammals and marsupials, and presents a unique creation science theory for examination. It is suspected that the overwhelming number of marsupials on one continent may instead be the result of the convergent evolution of intelligently designed organisms.
